My trip to Arizona By: Maddi Lambie I felt the cool breeze come at my face. I stepped off the last step of the airplane. The steps felt as steep as the Appalachian Mountains. I waited for my Mom, brother, sister, and step dad to catch up to me. We got our luggage and rental car and then we were off to my aunt Joi’s house. Joi is not really my aunt she is just my stepdad, Darren’s sister. But I call her my aunt anyway. When we got there she was waiting at the door with a gigantic grin spread across her face. We ran and gave her huge hugs. The hugs were as big as a furious grizzly bear hugging a squirrel. Then she introduced us to her new boyfriend Chris…and his two twin eleven year old daughters! I could not believe it. I knew that she had a new boyfriend but I had absolutely no clue that he had kids. I was overjoyed. At first I held everything inside, because I was very shy. I could feel my mom urging me to go over and talk to them. Then I finally gained enough courage to do it. I introduced myself and they introduced themselves by saying, “Hello we are Emily and Grace nice to meet you.” “Hello, nice to meet you too,” I replied At first I though to myself that we were never going to be friends because they were just too simple and boring. Well anyways the next thing that was on our agenda was to unpack all of our bags, so we did. After that Joi asked us if we wanted to go hiking. We all screamed yes! But first she had to call the cable guys to come fix her cable. She knew that my family couldn’t live without their cable no matter where they were. When they got there we left. In my head I was wondering if this was smart because we didn’t even know these people. After all Joi was a police officer. But I just completely cleared that thought out of my mind. It went in one ear and out the other. We hiked for about three whole hours! When we got home it was about 7:00. I could not wait to just sit on the couch, relax, and read. Hiking didn’t go so well because all of the sudden my sister threw up, and we had to go home. When we got into the garage all of Joi’s cop files were scattered everywhere! Joi screamed at us to get out of the garage. Darren was trying to act like he was tuff stuff so he walked the kids, my mom, and me back to the car out on the street. Then Joi got out her police gun that she keeps hidden in her car out in case the people were still in the house looking for something. Darren grabbed a baseball bat out of the back of Joi’s pickup truck. Then they went into the house. I sat in the car anxiously hoping that nothing bad had happened. Every minute went by like it was a thousand hours. I sat there with my brother, sister, and mom. We sat there just looking at each other. It turned out the robbers were looking for Joi’s gun. All of my clothes, and everyone else’s were not there. All of our things were stolen! We called 911 right away. They showed up in about eight minutes. There was no sign of the robbers and fortunately Joi’s extra gun was locked up safe and they had not gotten it. But this made our trip very short. My mom told us that because all of our stuff was stolen and we have no clothes so we had to go home tomorrow. I was devastated. Before we went to bed that night we locked everything! Even a master mind locksmith wouldn’t have been able to even get in that house. Our house was as locked up as Fort McHenry! But on the bright side I got to sleep in Emily and Grace’s room. This gave us some bonding time. We stayed up all night talking about Justin Bieber, school, and our families. It was the best night ever! We had food fights and we also made up a secret handshake. When my mom woke us up in the morning we all were very tired. We did not like being woken up at all! But we didn’t spill the beans that we had stayed up all night. That morning we had some scrumptious pancakes. Next on our agenda was to go swimming. This time we would be sure to not let some weird dudes that we don’t even know stay at our house while we left. We locked the house up like it was the Smithsonian. When we got to the place that we were supposed to go swimming at we realized that it was closed. We were furious! Then Joi told us that she could try warming up her hot tub so that we could swim in that. She warmed it up when we got home, but every minute went by like it was an hour! We were in our swimsuits and ready before she even started turning the temperature on the hot tub up. But finally when we got to go in and we were all extremely excited! Finally for the first time on this whole vacation we got to just enjoy the sun and relax. We splashed each other and just messed around. After a little while of swimming in the hot tub Joi told us that it was time to get out because we were already in there for too long. We hopped out, dried off and got our regular clothes back on. After that we went to a store and bought some post cards to send to my friends and family back in Hartford. I made postcards for my dad, Adrianna, and my class at Lincoln Elementary. Then we put them in Joi’s mailbox. Then my mom had a talk with me. She told me that we had to go home tomorrow. My brother, sister, and I all started crying. I was really just beginning to get used to all of the new people, places and sights. For the rest of that day we just went swimming. I was kind of depressed for the rest of the day because I knew that I would have to go home and I really didn’t want to. But after a while I learned to make the best of what I had. We ended up having all the girls go shopping and the boys go to the beach. But when we were done we went to meet the boys at the beach. It was such a fun day! I bought a bunch of cute t-shirts and pants. I also bought some really cool rocks, and geoids. My sister bought a bunch of princess things like castles, babies, and dresses and just a bunch of stuff that I would never want to buy. It would just be a waste of my money. My mom and Joi just paid for some of the things that we got. But then for me there were some things that I wanted really badly but she thought that it was a waste of money so I ended buying it for myself. I came to Florida with $46.78. I went home with $1.23. But I think it was worth it. When I woke up the next morning I didn’t want to leave. My mom packed all of our family’s things together in the correct bags. My brother sister and I all were just sitting and pouting because we didn’t want to have to go home. At noon we had to leave. It felt like that the day just whooshed right by. I gave Emily, Joi, Grace, Emily, Chris, and the cats a hug. We also did our handshake that we made up, and of course I got everyone’s phone number so that we all could stay in touch. This whole trip was such an amazing adventure!!! I could not wait to come back next summer to see what that would bring. I am sure that it will be another spectacular adventure! (:
Hello Big Kid, Goodbye Little Kid By: Maddi Lambie Switching from elementary school to middle school is a pretty big thing to me. I get to be the first one in my whole family, out of all of my brothers and sisters, to make the switch. I know that no matter where I am, school is still school. There will still be homework at night, I will still get to see more than one teacher at school, and no matter where I am I know that I will be at a great school. At Lincoln Elementary School we have Lion Eyes, but at Central we have wild cat cash. In elementary school you store things in your desk, but in middle school you put all of your things and books in your locker. In elementary school you will also have a shorter and less busy schedule. One thing I look forward to is being able to be in band, orchestra, and chorus. When you are in elementary school you have a principal, but at middle school you have a principal AND a dean of students. At elementary school the hours that you are at school is shorter than when you are at middle school. The worst part about making the switch for me is that you barely get any recess in middle school! Now that’s one thing and probably the only thing that’s not cool about middle school. I actually do look forward to changing from elementary school to middle school. I think there are a lot of more fun stuff that I have to look forward to in middle school such as band, orchestra, and chorus. But then I also have a lot of things that I will miss about elementary school too. But I also think that switching school gives you a lot of more responsibilities, and I have the feeling that I’m ready for that.

Blue is the sky and water
And blue jeans
Blue is the taste of toothpaste
The ocean and blueberries smell blue
Blue is the sound of wind and crying

Losing something is blue
